1t was Frances custom to have an Exposition
every eleven years. Thus she had one In 1867.
and another in 1878, and in 1889 it would be
time for the third. That was all. The German
press. however, was not convinced by this though
it admired NJ. Loclzroy's fertile powers Of inven'
tion and even the French press largely rcpudi-
atcd it. Other efforts werc made to win Prince
Bismarck over. and finally the veteran Count de
Lessew was sent to Berlin ostensibly on another
errand. but really to try his persuasive speech
upon the Chancellor. He admitted that the Rev.
olution was to be commcmorated, but not the
Reign OF Terror. Oh no 1t was the centenary

not Of the Convention. The opening of the safe

Mr.. Elhu Root has made an admirable CHAIR
nan of the Republican County Committee and
fairly earned a reelection. But he is doubtful
of his ability to accept the honor of second
term, because of The time which 1T takes 1ro"
his private business. Having served one year
he feels that he has done all that can reason
ably be asked of him. There is force In Mr-
Roots position, but the committee, which has
unanimously selected him as its presiding officer
again. will be averse to needing his request
for relief. The matter is left in allegiance
unsl September. Perhaps Mr.. Root may change
his mind in the meantime and make the sac,
yifice demanded.

HOT WEATHER PHILOSOPHY.

NEWCOMERS ought 10 be moro Thankful
than they usually are for the climate In which
1hcy live Even the somewhat torrid heat OF
the present kind of summer weather Is not
without its advantages. and when ,hc enforced
city residents let everything go as 1t were.

Heavens blessed breeze after the manner Of
Hoods Eugene Aram, philosophy will still
make life worth living. For do but consider
what happens to the unfortunates who live
in what is called an equable climate. where
one can bask in the samcncss OF the tempera-
ture every day for nine months in the year.
and only light umbrella is needed the
other three months. Is II not notorious that
the residents in such countries never amount
to anything; that they gradually lose all
their energies, just as the bees cease making
honey under like circumstances that not be-
ing compelled TO "rust.e." they became in
dolent, unambitious. lotos eaters, in word.
Their descendants in the third generation
are fully developed loafers, and thenccforward
the fate of the race Is sealed.
The truth Is that poor humanity is so in
hercntly lazy as to need the spur perpctualy
and ti.ere is no stimulus so strong and sure
IA that Of climate Here we have our summer
as well as our winter tonics. When the biz
card Is not blowing and the snow showing, and
the ice congealing and everybody being nipped

the air and extracting tho moisture from the
ocean and the soil. and saturating the lower
strata of the atmosphere Herewith. and so pro-
ducing modified Turkish bath into which the
community is plunged with enlivening effects
No doubt the tendency is toward the evolution
of profanity when the mercury climbs too high

by the invigorating flip given the general
circulation. 1t has been plausibly argued that
this also is the motive OF the mosquitoes other

retains energy enough to swear roundly at the
heat thereby rouses himself to working pitch.

while hopping his streaming brow. Depend
upon it, the large assortment Of weather with
which New-Yorl< is favored has much to do

by her sons whenever the occasion demands 1t.

ROULINGER OUT OF PARIS.

General Boulanger remains thorn In Pres
ident Grevy's side. His popularity has IN
creased instead of diminishing since his expul-
sion from the War Department. 1t is currently
believed in France that his downfall was de-
creed at Berlin, and certainly the German
press has not concealed its satisfaction over
the War Minister'S disgrace. The fact that he
has been degraded in consequence OF his sue
cess in imparting efficiency to the army and ID
frightening Germany has added cubit to his
political stature. He is the hero of democratic
Paris his name is heard everywhere; and his
photographs are eagerly purchased and consplc-
ousy displayed in every French village The
approach Of the military review and national
setes has warned President Greyy that popular
demonstrations in favor of General Bouanger
were inevitable He has considered 1T neces-
sary to ,emove the idol Of the excitable pop
ulace of he capital to remote military station
and acco dinghy has eazetted General Boulan-
GERS appointment to the command of an army
CORPS. 1t is doubtful whether this Transparent
device WI prevent those popular displays OF
admiration Of the General and hostility to
Germany of which the President stands in
dread. 1t is certain that the Government is
strengthening the displaced War Minister'S
political position by these ostentatious attempts
to got him out Of We way.
1t Is probable that General Boulanger's en-
emies are in reality rendering him an important
service. If he were to remain in Paris and to
receive a spontaneous ovation from troops and
people, the conservative, law-abiding classes
might be seriously alarmed by tho evidences
of his extraordinary popularity. BY sending
him to military post they have relieved him
from personal responsibility for any anti-Ger-
nan demonstrations that may arise and stopped
al talk of military dictatorship; and at tho
same time they have added their own testimony
TO the glamour of his name and the weight OF
his influence Indeed, the President by his
jealousy and timorous weakness has increased
in large measure the prestige OF the man whom
he branded as Chauvinist maiplot and fire.

POWDERLY ON THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

POWDERLY ON THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
When Mr.. Powderly gets on the drink qucs-
ton he always speaks with the heat OF strong
conviction, and in his latest remarks upon this
vital subject he Is particularly vigorous and
earnest No doubt he is entitled to congiat-
ulate himself on the firm stand he has taken
toward the liquor traffic personally, and it Is
to be hoped that sooner or later his attitude
will be emulated by the workingmcn who move
under his leadership. Hitherto however, 1t
does not appear that Mr.. Powderly's strong
feeling on the subject has spread far among
his followers. They have indeed seemed to
regard the whole question as one of secondary
consequence or rather they have avoided con-
sideration of it as calculated to force upon
them the disagrceable necessity of choosing
between two courses the one that OF accus-
toned self-indulgence. the oaher that OF self

THE CASTING OUT OF CREGAM


Tn refusing to permit Captain Grcgan ard
his adbennts to continue to represent the
XVIII Assembly District the Republican
County Committee has done an unpleasant but
necessary duty. When Cregan's treachery last
November was proved. an earnest attempt
to get rid of him was made. but the tNo-thlrds
vote necessary to expulsion was not forth
coming. Now the same end has been accom-
nlisbed in an easier way. At the last primary
election the Cregan ticket had small nominal
majority; but The evidence that the election
was not fairly and honestly conducted fully
justified the adverse report Of She Committee
on Contests The unscating of the Cregan
delegation was approved unanimously by inc
County Committee last night.
This result is satisfactory from every point
of view. It shows that the Republican party
is always ready TO purify itself when proof Is
presented that those whom it has trusted and
bonorcd have betrayed the confidence reposed
in them. The chief credit for the disposition
made of Crcgan-which, it is hoped. Will DO
Gnal-is due to Mr.. Allen Thorndike Rice.
who showed great pluck and energy in pushing
the matter and not allowing it to drop. This
was a dsagrecable task. but Mr.. Rice did not
shrt it. Mr. Robert Ray Hamilton also de-
serves warm commentator for his untiring
effo to probe all the facts and get at the
truth of the case In all it's bearings. And the
County Committee as body has earned tho
hearty approval of Republicans at large for
coming fully up to the high standard that the
party had right to expect Of it. The outcome
of the Cregan episode cannot but be whole
some, and it will tend to renewed vigor and
health in tho party ranks.

Thegambling in the staple products
of the country should be stopped,
but it seems almost impossible to
prohibit it. It looks as if it will be
a good while before public sentiment
will be educated up to the point
where the gigantic abuses will be
taken firmly in hand by courts and
jurors. Faro, keno and other regu-
lar games of chance, no matter how
unfairly they may be conducted, are
far less reprehensible, corrupting
and injurious to the public than are
the graf games that are played on
the floors Of the Stock and Produce
Exchanges of the country, and which
has become SO firmly rooted as to
affect the prosperity Of our great in
dustries and endanger the general
welfare.
